Individual Therapy

Adult and teen embracing – trauma-informed virtual therapy in Indiana & Illinois

Individual therapy, also known as talk therapy, is a supportive space where you can share openly, reflect deeply, and initiate the process of healing and growth. I primarily work with adults and teens who are navigating challenges such as:

  • Self-esteem

  • Trauma 

  • Anxiety 

  • Depression 

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship challenges (family, friendships, or romantic)

  • Life transitions

  • Stress management and burnout

  • Personal growth and empowerment

  • Women’s issues

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): noticing the unhelpful thoughts that pop up and learning how to shift them.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): building real-life skills to manage emotions, set boundaries, and stay grounded.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): making peace with what you can’t control while focusing on what matters most to you.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): getting to know the different “parts” of yourself with compassion, so they work together instead of against each other.

  • Narrative Therapy: looking at your story in a new way and finding the strength and meaning within it.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT): highlighting your strengths and focusing on the small steps that move you forward.

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): helping you find your own motivation and confidence to make changes.

  • Strengths-Based Approach: recognizing the resilience and abilities you already bring to the table.

  • Trauma-Informed Care: creating a safe, respectful space that honors your experiences and helps you feel empowered.

I use a mix of approaches because everyone’s journey is different. Here are some of the ways I can support you:

Consultation

I provide consultation services for individuals, schools, and organizations seeking professional support in the areas of mental health and wellness. My work blends clinical expertise with practical strategies to create meaningful and lasting impact.

Areas of consultation include:

  • Workshops, trainings, and speaking engagements on mental health topics for schools, agencies, and community organizations 

  • Clinical supervision for social workers pursuing growth and licensure

Whether it’s a single session or an ongoing partnership, my goal is to equip individuals and organizations with tools that promote clarity, growth, and sustainable change.
